Frequently asked questions

What factors influence the waste reduction estimate?

The estimate depends on your household size and the specific habits you plan to adopt. Different habits have different impacts, so the simulator combines them to give a qualitative idea of potential waste avoided and savings.

Can I use this simulator for a business or only for households?

This tool is designed for household use. It considers typical domestic waste patterns and savings, so applying it to a business may not reflect commercial waste streams or costs accurately.

How accurate is the savings estimate?

The simulator provides a rough estimate based on general assumptions. Actual savings can vary widely depending on local prices, consumption patterns, and how consistently you adopt the new habits.
